PRESS


Britons speak,

To Welsh,

Aye, Gal is a potential issue. I attacked Cel since Scots could force Gal anyhow, better to try to take the build. I will send some more fleets that way, looks like they will be needed. I take it that would be acceptable?


To Angles,

I do not desire conflict with the Saxons right now, I think the Scots are much more of a concern. Thus, I'm throwing him some defensive support, but I will also not move in your direction. I think that you can safely focus northwards, since Saxons knows that we could take him out in an instant if we wished. However, I belive that is undesirable at the moment...and I did give my word that I would help him. If this is unaceptable, let me know, since I do not desire you as an enemy.


To Saxons,

Hope the support helps a bit. As stated, your role in this game is a bit unclear right now...perhaps you are content with surviving to make it to the final 7?


To Danes,

I concur on the Dog idea, that's why I issued the support. My line of thinking here is that Dog might be needed in Ger; and that you want a route to the island itself. Also, I moved to block Frisians this season, it's not my intention to move that last army to the east at all. I hope Rhe/Hol continuing to support each other for the rest of the game will be acceptable. I would also accept if you put a unit in Low to give Dre the same saftey; preferably a fleet since it does the job just as well as an army but does not increase tension.

To Norse,

Please, do not see my support of Danes to Dog as an hostile action; it's merly a support that might benefit you both, and I belive Ger is more important to you now with the Scots going on a rampage.

Angles, I hope you can get an army into Dur in the process of setting sail.

Britons, the obvious move for the Irish this turn was to cut my
support. Let's see how it looks in the fall.

Irish, I still intend to support Arm if I can't take it and the Scots can.

Picts, let me know if you're interested in moving against the Scots.

-<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales

Wales: I had to build an army to strengthen my self against the Saxons. But also I'll look to eventually replace my F Dur with my new army and thus free up my fleet. And heading up the peninsula with an army is much preferred. I'll look to support your move to Lan if that looks like the best bet in the Fall.
- Angles

Danes to Norse: I need to secure Dogger to get to the big island. I will not stay in Ska longer than strictly necessary.

Danes to Britons: The Frisians should be done with this year, and I would like to co-operate with you on the big island, as soon as I can get there.

Saxons to Angles: Seriously? Did you really just f#$% me like that? Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can hold off others by finishing me? And, better yet, do you really think that you can finish me quick enough?

Saxons to Welsh: Understood but can you really trust the Angles after that BS? I only agreed to a cease-fire because I was relying on him to stay true based on your complicity in the agreement.

Saxons to Britons: Let's take Tha for you. Once that happens Anglia is in trouble. If you don't get it this turn, I will support Str-Tha in the Fall.

Norse press.... to Picts... If Scots persist in attacking me then I will cease attacking you and leave you with LOT and even support you in taking JUT. to Scots. See above. But if you go back west then I will stay east and not come at your SCs. to Danes.... Hope we are fine and this sets us up for future cooperation.

to all: if the vote does not pass then lets get rid of the small ones till we have our 7 and then we can fight for position.
